Congratulations on your nominations on Blotanical, Tatyana. It's posts like this one and the last with such stunning photographs and heartfelt prose that make your blog one of the best. I love all the photos of the front gardens of houses--inspires me to try a little harder on my own garden:) But those twinkly eyes have to be the best photo of all. I had no idea you had twins--this makes your blogging even more amazing!

I never knew there were so many kinds of bees until I got into gardening. It's amazing how our hobby opens up our eyes to so many things.A great poem to go with a great photo. Did one of your son's write it?Congratulations on the nominations. My fingers are crossed for you.
